Well during the school holidays I am off to Bognor to be photographed on the beach sitting on the children's arms, how about you?
Well I am being sent to 10 Downing street, while Larry (the cat) goes on his holidays being used to keep the vermin down, starting with a Mr D Cummins I believe.

I don't mind the falcon racing that much, it's the cheating I hate, "fly to the airport", it's the "we will then fly you to Paris and let you complete the race from there" bit I hate.

And could you please all be aware of carrying ticks, fleas or lice, we do not want the birds infected.

Greta says that if we can't get airborne using the birds, it's going to have to be the carbon yacht again this year.

....in a low weight addition airlines can now order a self ejecting and flying back to Base CVR. The only drawback is unlike Parrots Falcons have no vocal cords.

“I heard that on British Airways the pre-departure beverage is usually accompanied by what the humans call bird-seed.”
